Talk:1976 Atlantic hurricane season

Indirect?
If Emmy caused a plane to crash, shouldn't those be direct deaths? Or did the plane crash because it was evacuating, but not directly because of the storm's winds? &mdash; jdorje (talk) 00:21, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * IIRC, the plane crashed during an attempt to emergency land in the Azores. I think that's indirect. Hurricanehink 13:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Referring to talk page
Im going to remove the expand request banner if no one discusses about adding more info in the seasonal article. Storm05 17:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Huh? It doesn't need discussion.  It needs to be expanded. &mdash; jdorje (talk) 20:10, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Season button bar
Can I add a season button bar to this page and the Belle article? It's located here. Icelandic Hurricane #12 22:31, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I definetely wouldnt mind. Tutmosis 22:34, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

TDs
I found out there were quite a few depressions this season, but I can't find out how many and when they formed? Thw WMR is so confusing. Icelandic Hurricane #12 21:21, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That might be misleading. 25 TD's seems like a lot for such an inactive year. Hurricanehink 00:49, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I strongly think that the depression should not have their own sections, given that the only info available is formation, dissipation, and location. I propose they have their own section, perhaps being listed in a table format listing formation, dissipation, winds, and locations affected (if any). Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Well they are gone for now. Would it matter if i kept the storm histories in a other storms section?Mitchazenia 20:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The problem is that there are no storm histories. That's why I proposed the table. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The high number of TDs is probably because they had just started identifying them, and many of them were really either tropical storms or (more likely) waves or non-tropical systems that they couldn't really tell apart. CrazyC83 00:04, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Here are the non-developing TDs from 1976 from the TC reanalysis spreadsheet Thegreatdr (talk) 23:26, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * June 06-10, Western Atlantic
 * June 10-13, Western Atlantic, 1008 mb low
 * July 05-09, Central Atlantic
 * July 19-23, Western Atlantic, 1018 mb low
 * July 22-25, Ern Trop Atlantic
 * Sept 03-06, Western Atlantic
 * Sept 05-08, Gulf of Mexico
 * Sept 19-30, Tropical Atlantic
 * Sept 21-25, Gulf of Mexico
 * Sept 25-29, Central Trop Atl
 * Oct. 02-13, Wrn Trop Atl/Caribbean, large 1003 mb low
 * Oct. 11-16, Central Trop Atl
 * Oct. 30-Nov. 4, West Central Atlantic


 * Should the table be updated with this information? Could you add a refernce (it doesn't have to be online). There are lots of citation templates to choose from. I'm going to take them out of the button bar, which is missing the July 5 one anyway.Potapych (talk) 02:46, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * For citations, use the MWR article on Atlantic tropical systems that year. That will likely add to the list above, but the list above is from a file that even NHC mentions should be used with caution.  Thegreatdr (talk) 09:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Six years on - these have been moved to the Seasonal effects chart since they are now in HURDAT. When HURDAT is updated i suspect we will be waving goodbye to several of these systems but thats at least two years away imo.Jason Rees (talk) 02:44, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Captions
The images posted with the tracks for Emmy and Frances aren't satellite images as their captions claim, although there is a satellite image of them between. --Patteroast 13:19, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, I personally don't like the cloud images. I vote we get rid of them. They don't really add that much. Hurricanehink 13:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hink-you said you couldn't find a picture for most storms <1980. I found mostly the best that i could.Google also has a Bob (1979) sattilite but its a .bmp file,(I never got a reply for the other 2 and they were removed from Google oddly).HurricaneCraze32 20:10, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * They aren't satellite iamges, they are clouds. If anyone wants to, they can split up the pic of Emmy and Frances for the storm pics. Do you have a link to the Bob file? Also, you never gave a parent link for those files. With only the picture, nothing is known about them. Do you have the website that they are from? Hurricanehink 20:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * NVM Bob-now that i look its one of the 1991 hurricane...The 2 old ones: www.marciawoodgallery.com -HurricaneCraze32 20:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hink, these are false color visible satellite pictures from a geostationary satellite. Thegreatdr 20:02, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Could you be a little more specific? If they are paintings, then they can't be used. Hurricanehink 20:35, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * One is a photo,one is a painting-the flooding is photo.HurricaneCraze32 20:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I mean, where on the site do I go for the picture? Which artist is it under? Chances are, it's not fair use. Hurricanehink 20:47, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually-i couldn't find them on there-you try your luck.HurricaneCraze32 20:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned references in 1976 Atlantic hurricane season
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 1976 Atlantic hurricane season's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "TCR2": From 1975 Atlantic hurricane season:  From Tropical Storm Dottie:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 06:55, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
